France’s prime minister has torn into U.S. President Donald Trump’s Oval Office thrashing of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by calling it a staggering show of “brutality.”

Britain and France will work on a peace deal with Ukraine and present it to Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said.

Sir Keir Starmer has told MPs that US President Donald Trump's commitment to achieving peace in Ukraine is "sincere". The prime minister said Europe would have to do "the heavy lifting" as part of a peace deal but US backing would be vital.

France on Monday said a plan for a one-month truce between Russia and Ukraine would test Moscow's commitment to ending the war it began with its 2022 invasion. In an initial phase, it is "a way of verifying that Russia is willing to end this war",

"Even while Russia talks about peace, they are continuing their relentless aggression," Starmer said at the meeting.

Starmer said he's focused on being a bridge to restore peace talks and he used the collapse of those talks as an opportunity to re-engage with Trump and Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron
